Synology themselves.
I'm not sure who I have to ask, so I try it here.
For the synology disk Station there is a MediaWiki package that contains V 1.30.
Can someone tell me when a new package will be released?
I want to use the VisualEditor Extension and it reports me that I need Version 1.31 or higher.
Thanks for reading ;-)

Reiner,
I checked with Synology tech. support and it is Synology which maintains the MediaWiki package for Synology NAS. Their recommendation was to register your interest in getting the package updated through the Synology Feature request form: www.synology.com/en-us/form/inquiry/feature
I did do so today, and, as usual, I guess volume is key, so don't hesitate to register one yourself.
Best regards,
Lars
To start, where exactly to find a MediaWiki package for Synology Disk Station?
In the Disk Station you can find it in the package manager, but at the moment in version 1.30.

the synology support told me (I ask them first) that they have no influence to the update cycle of third-party products. The developer of such products give the update packages to synology and I have to ask the developer when to get an update.
So, we have an support-request-cycle here :)
synology support answered:
Synology is publisher but not developer of the package.
Please contact the developer (MediaWiki).
So I am back to my question: Where can I get contact to the MediaWiki developers (for the synology diskstation package)?
Our release cycle is published and we don't provide packages to synology. As to who does, we cannot help you.
Hmm, https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/packages/MediaWiki has no indication who made it. Definitely doesn't seem like anyone associated with mediawiki did. As far as I know, no mediawiki developers are associated with any of the mediawiki distro packages except the debian package.
Now that Mediawiki 1.35 is out with bundled VisualEditor support, I'm sure there will be more inquiries about getting this version on Synology. I followed IDLLDI's advice and submitted a request via www.synology.com/en-us/form/inquiry/feature.
1.35 is available for Docker. Why not just run Docker on your Synology then install the 1.35 docker image as a workaround?
